The use of gold in medicine
From the applications of gold in medicine Apart from medical uses such as making medicines and such, we can mention the making of surgical instruments, use in some artificial parts of the body, the making of some laboratory equipment such as accurate thermometers, etc.
Gene therapy with gold element
Gold nanoparticles are used in gene therapy, which is a method of treating disease through the repair of defective genes.
Gold nanorods have been used as photothermal agents in photothermal therapy (PTT) research. In this treatment method, electromagnetic radiation, which is usually in infrared wavelengths, is used to treat various diseases, including cancer.
The use of gold nanoparticles in biosensors increases their stability, sensitivity and selectivity. These types of sensors are divided into two main groups: optical and electrochemical biosensors. In electrochemical sensors, biological data is converted into electrical signals.
The relatively good malleability of gold alloys and the ineffectiveness of this element have led to its use in dentistry. The gold element is used in dentistry to restore and cover teeth.
